National Coatings has an AcryShield Roof Management (ARM) System that allows you to create bright and stunning logo’s, murals, or any other colorful design elements you would like to add to your rooftop.

This ARM System consists primarily of our TPO A140 Primer and our custom colored AcryShield A500 Top Coat:

• The TPO A140 Primer is a low VOC, solvent based primer designed for optimal adhesion over newer TPO roofs. It has a quick dry time of one hour and provides an excellent layer of tenacious adhesion to the newly applied TPO surface for long lasting performance capabilities.
  
  
• Our AcryShield A500 Top Coat, which is the industry leading acrylic, elastomeric coating that is geographically compliant in all locations (including colder climates where extra levels of low temperature flexibility are required) exceeds ASTM D6083 requirements and includes a high performance fire retardant package. Our custom tinting technicians add color pigments to the A500 top coats to create the exact color you need, delivering vibrant colored roof coatings to match your needs.

One of the primary benefits of a cool roof coating is to provide a cooler indoor ambient air temperature inside the building. This in turn, lowers air conditioning usage allowing a building owner or tenant to save on energy cooling costs, while still maintaining a comfortable work environment. The coatings do this by reflecting the sun’s heat away from the roof opposed to traditional roofing, which retains a bulk of the heat.

Cool roof coatings are comprised of UV blocking pigments that prevent the roofs surface from absorbing the UV rays (which cause the heat) by redirecting these rays back into the atmosphere, away from the building. Typically, these coatings are bright white in color because they are able to reflect the heat better than dark coatings; however, if a bright white rooftop is not the best choice for your building, you can install a cool roof coating system with a tan or sand colored rooftop while still gaining energy savings.

The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) is an excellent resource for determining reflectivity as they test and rate roofing products for solar reflectance and thermal emittance, providing consultants and building owners with initial and 3 year unbiased results. The CRRC has rated several of NCC’s cool roof coatings in sand and have determined even after 3 years, these coatings are able to provide plenty of UV resistance.

If you are looking for a cool roof coating in sand that is proven to provide reflectivity, our AcryShield A400 Sand, AcryShield A420 Sand, AcryShield A500 Sand, and AcryShield A510 Sand are all great options. These coatings are multi-purpose, high performance, elastomeric, acrylic coatings for use over a variety of substrates.
